[Fwbuilder-discussion] HowTo: For Anyone Interested

[<pc...@my...>]

Based on my comments on the Firewall Builder web site
to the "Paranoid Penguin" articles, I am in the
process of writing a semi-comprehensive HowTo on
taking a "blank box" and turning it into a firewall
using Firewall Builder.  This includes some decent
hardening of the Linux system itself.  It is not even
close to being complete but if anyone would like to
look at it for QC purposes or to see if I am missing
anything important, please feel free to contact me
off-list for a copy.  One drawback to those running
Linux or BSD workstations.  The document is written in
Microsoft Word 2000 and makes heavy use of the Table
of Contents feature.  I don't know if this works well
in Open Office or any of the non-Windows word
processors.  Once the HowTo is complete, I will make
it a PDF.

Also interesting to note, they are *VERY* incomplete,
but I am also adding sections on how to set up basic
bandsidth monitoring on the firewall via MRTG and also
intrusuion detection via Snort/Acid/MySQL.
